Think about it… why give up 75% of a commission just because you’re not available to show a client the property or it’s a 2 hour drive or you live in a new state? Wouldn’t it be better to keep both your client and your commission and have Showami show the home for you? In the past, agents would refer their clients to other agents for a multitude of reasons. These include the property being outside of their market area or being too busy to handle more business. Often, they would settle for a small 25% referral fee and then be disappointed by the service that their valued clients received. Man ..read more

Feedback is an important way to find out how we’re doing. Showami reviews were created as a way to ensure a great experience for both buyer’s agents and showing agents. We take ratings very seriously; agents with low ratings may lose access to Showami. Showami uses a combination of agent reviews, the number of completed showings along with the completeness of the agent profile to determine the order in which notifications get sent out. Agents with better ratings, fully completed profiles with a professional photo and more showing experience will be the first to receive notifications. Rate ..read more

Why is there a confirmation after a showing has been accepted? Showing agents accept the showing when they are willing to show a home at a specific date and time. The confirmation of the showing is the next step after accepting a showing. A showing agent confirms the showing after they have scheduled it through the MLS or ShowingTime and have received a confirmation back from the listing agent / ShowingTime that it is okay to show the home. The buyer’s agent will receive a confirmation text at that time and notify the buyer. The buyer’s agent will not be charged for the showing. Which agen ..read more

In today’s fast-paced real estate market, both buyers and agents are encountering a new challenge that could impact the home buying process.

While this is a positive sign for sellers, indicating a strong market demand, it presents a unique set of challenges for buyers eager to find their dream home and for agents striving to meet their clients’ needs efficiently. To navigate this evolving landscape ..read more

As a real-estate professional, how many times have you gotten a call from a client who needs to see a home immediately—and right when you have something else planned?

As a real estate agent I’ve used Buyer Agency agreements for most of my 24 year career.  In 2006 when I moved to Colorado, my broker at the time required it for every client that went under contract.  I’ve personally sold or been involved in the sale of over 500 properties and those were about 60% sellers and 40% buyers.  So I’ve done a lot of presentations and became pretty good at explaining exactly what I do while helping the buyers and sellers understand what I expect from them.  My hope in writing this is that you will be able to take away one or two nuggets that wil ..read more
